Sermons on Grumbling Or Arguing:

"everything Yahwe Says, We Will Do, Except..... Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Mar 13, 2025

While Yahweh had proven himself faithful time and time again, Israel had proven less so. Yet, despite all their grumbling and complaining, Yahweh had journeyed with them and he had brought them to his mountain.

March 15, 2025 When Yahweh called Moses, he made a promise: Exodus 3:12 - "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Faithful to his promise: Exodus ...read more

Immediately Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 5, 2001

This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

Peter Falls On His Face

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 17, 2010

Right after an astounding and historical confession of faith, here we find Peter arguing with Jesus. And the source of the problem was predictable, since Peter was a human being stuck in the physical and being led into the spiritual realm. Self-interests

Passage: Matthew 16:21-28 Intro: Peter must have been feeling pretty good! 1. just made the first confession of faith in Jesus as Promised Messiah and the Son of God. 2. great enthusiasm from Jesus, “go to the head of the class!” 3. and then, a few minutes later, everything has changed. 4. ...read more

The Conversion Of Paul

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Sep 15, 2015

THE CONVERSION OF PAUL IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE ACCOUNTS RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE. NO TWO CONVERSIONS ARE EVER THE SAME, AND I BELIEVE IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT THE ACCOUNT OF PAUL’S CONVERSION IS THE MOST DRAMATIC, AND THE LONGEST RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE

Irritating God

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 3, 2024

We human beings can and do sometimes irritate God. When we fail to respect God properly, the result is not a pretty picture. Our attitude toward God affects our lives significantly.

Irritating God (Numbers 11:1-35) 1. This older Jewish man was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renown surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to receive the anesthesia he asked to speak to his son. "Yes Dad, what is it?" "Don't be ...read more

The Hidden World Of Service

Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006

The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

What Happens After You Die? Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Apr 3, 2003

What happens after death is widely argued among non-Christians. The simple truth is: when you die, you will continue to exist and where you spend eternity depends on the choices you make in the here and now.

What Happens After You Die? Luke 16:19-31 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION How old were you when you began to realize people die?

The Importance Of Love & Doctrine Series

Contributed by Othniel Andrew on Mar 16, 2018

There is a lot of confusion and confrontation when it comes to love and doctrine. Many argue that love is more important or love is enough! On the other hand, there are others who emphasize more on doctrine and avoid others who don't agree with them.

The Importance of Love & Doctrine ***************************** Mark 1:22 And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall ...read more

Be Grateful Series

Contributed by Godday Osoba on Aug 2, 2023

Although we know that we should cultivate an attitude of Gratitude to God and to Man, the problem is that we are more inclined to grumble and complain, while there may be ten things for which we be Grateful for, we tend to focus on the one thing that irks us.

Let's thank God, please don't be an ungrateful child. Let’s give him Thank, Father I thank you, in you I put my Faith, trust and hope and you who didn’t allow me to be put to shame. Remember Hannah put her faith upon the Lord that day as she prayed... THAT SAME GOD didn’t put her to ...read more

Thessalonica And Berea Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 25, 2005

Paul centres his message on the historic Jesus, arguing from Scripture that he’s the Messiah. He persuades people by careful argument, opening the Scriptures to allow people to discover the truth for themselves. And he works as a leader of a team, includi

It’s interesting that we think of Paul as someone who stands out on his own. He’s the great apostle to the Gentiles, a man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yet in reality he was a man who loved to work as part of a team. He started out with Barnabas, then joined up with Silas, then he ...read more
